What country is the largest contributor of greenhouses gases?
China is the biggest annual producer of greenhouse gases, recently overtaking the US. The US remains historically the country that has put the most greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. China is catching up here.
What is the largest contributor to increased levels of CO2?
The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. This includes activities such as driving cars, generating electricity, and industrial processes, which release CO2 as a byproduct.
Where do greenhouse gases go?
Greenhouse gases trap the heat rising from the warmed surface of the earth. Hence, increasing the temperature of earth. This is called the greenhouse effect. If extra greenhouse gases are added, then we have an accelerated greenhouse effect, which causes global warming.
What gas is the biggest greenhouse gas?
Depends on your understanding of the term "biggest":The largest volume of naturally occurring greenhouse gas is water vapour.The largest volume or tonnage of manmade greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide.The most potent is Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) which has a greenhouse gas impact 23,900 times that of carbon dioxide.
How is Saturn's largest satellite different from satellites of other planets?
Saturn's largest satellite, Titan, is distinctive because it has a thick atmosphere composed mainly of nitrogen and methane. This atmosphere is denser than Earth's and creates a greenhouse effect. Unlike most moons in the solar system, Titan is the only one known to have a significant atmosphere and surface liquids in the form of lakes and rivers.
What country is the largest contributor of greenhouses gases?
China is the biggest annual producer of greenhouse gases, recently overtaking the US. The US remains historically the country that has put the most greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. China is catching up here.
Does coal produce greenhouse gases?
Yes, especially carbon dioxide Coal is the largest contributor to the human-made increase of CO2 in the air.
What country do you think is the largest contributor to global warming?
The United States for decades was the largest emitter of greenhouse gas, but within the last few years has been eclipsed by China. Per capita, the US remains one of the larger emitters of CO2.
What is the largest contributor to increased levels of CO2?
The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. This includes activities such as driving cars, generating electricity, and industrial processes, which release CO2 as a byproduct.
Where in the atmosphere are greenhouse gases?
All of it . . . the largest amount of greenhouse gas is plain old water vapor. (Humidity) Without the greenhouse gasses, the Earth would be an icy ball with no animals, plants, or humans.
What contributes most acid precipitation?
The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to acid precipitation. It is caused by sulfur and nitrogen reaction with the atmosphere.
What other planets have greenhouse gases?
Two other planets besides Earth.Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect, with most of its atmosphere carbon dioxide, and a temperature of 460° Celsius.Mars has a very faint greenhouse effect, with a little carbon dioxide, but hardly any atmosphere at all.Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has a greenhouse effect, with large concentrations of methane.
What human activity was the largest contributor to the wind erosion that occurred during the Dust Bowl?
The answer is probably polluting the atmosphere, gold mining, recycling, or farming.
Which countries are the largest contributors of the greenhouse gases.?
China is the biggest annual producer of greenhouse gases, recently overtaking the US. The US remains historically the country that has put the most greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. China is catching up here.
Which well known company was the largest contributor to the Food and Beverage Industry according to the figures reported by the Center for Public Integrity in 2006?
coca cola
Which country is the largest FDI contributor of India?
mauritius
What percentage does co2 contribute to green house gases?
The most abundant greenhouse gas is water vapor. Although not as potent as other greenhouse gases pound for pound, by sheer volume water vapor is the key greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide is the second largest (by volume) greenhouse gas. Methane and nitrous oxide complete the four primary greenhouse gases, but there are only trace amounts of these in our atmosphere. Since water vapor is about 4% of the atmosphere, and CO2 concentrations are 400 parts per million, 0.04/0.0004 = 1%. In other words, CO2 is roughly 1% of the greenhouse gas.
